and so,i went to Saina' or its famous name among the tourist was Sinai. it took my poor knee to stand about 8 hours of journey by bus and yes it almost break my neck. i went there by group astonishingly as i seldom like group tours,there were students from Mansoura, Tanta, and Cairo.i think we are almost 55 students, boys and girls. apart from my ego of not liking group tours as i like to do things on my own,this group did help me in making new friends and strengthen my friendship bonds with my fellow mansouriyyin.
our first stop was the port Salehuddin, Taba. When i say first stop,yes directly from Mansoura,without brushing teeth and morning things. despite all that,i can still manage a smile and enjoying the sun while enjoying the view. our tour guide explained that we can see 3 country from our spot,the @#$%^& Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia.
(how close i am with my brother Ali, who just started his study in Jordan)we have 3 Salehuddin's port as i can recalled in Egypt,i already visited 2 of them,one in Taba and Alexandria.i can't remember the location of the last one.
this is the port Salehudding from our view. there is a sweet looking pool there.its quite foggy because its still winter morning.

we continued our journey to Dahab. this is where i can get my swimming skills in actions. yes,i snorkelled here and there,swam like a fish untill i cramped one of my hamstring's muscle to stop myself. this is my second snorkelling spot after Hurghada, the Blue hole. It is considered as the most spectacular spot for divers around the world and no kidding,it is a HOLE!! i was toooo excited to jump into the sea, without life jacket and just a torn fin on my leg given by this stingy arab, i jumped into the sea. the seconds, i put my head in the water..OMG!!i am above a HOLE!a very deep one. its pitch dark blue with bubbles ascends from the diver's oxygen tank below. and for the second time after Hurghada,i experienced the nice coral reef view. i touched all the fishes but,as time passes,(we started late) the wave started to gobbled me down the ocean and the wind is quite fierce. so i stop swimming and wishing to visit this Blue Hole again,but this time,not snorkelling,but DIVE!
and..oopss,i bought myself my own snorkelling gear!yes!
i dont have any picture during our snorkelling activity,because i directly jumped into the water,i forgot to take even one. but, the next day (and so,i have Dahab's sea picture), we went again to the beach for some boring glass boat activity,we rode a boat with a glass at its floor,and everybody should see the wonder of red sea. but,i have motion sickness and the glass made me sick, so i stayed at the 2nd floor to enjoy my sea breeze n view which is a very bad idea instead because there is several lads in our group that smoked like a chimney and made me sicker. i dont know and i dont have any idea why they should suffocate me with their smoke for 24 hours the WHOLE journey. i nearly slapped them in the boat becaused i get really annoyed. but i remained my grace, and of course this savage people saved from my rage.;-). if they happened to read this,my message is,please do not smoke in front of other people.your smoke raid other people's clean oxygen air that their deserve to enjoy.stop being selfish.thank you very much. in a nutshell,i love dahab sea.

our first lunch in Dahab.i saw dolphins!!!!!!but just the fin~
in front of our first hotel, miami beach hotel, Dahab.yes, this hotel has only one yellow BULB to light the whole room to reincarnate the horrror scene in JU-ON movie and NO WATER during the morning. the water was salty in the shower and sink. yup, i developed rashes because of this. i wonder how many star i should award them. oh well, its part of the experienced!!
my next journey was the climax of all. above was just the usual teenager's fun. but what am i going to tell next is priceless, you cant get this experienced until you touched,smelled,and climbed it yourself. the journey of wadi arbaeen and mount Sinai expedition.and from my opinion,this part of my story deserve a special page in journey of the prophet in Saina' part 2.
